Hi guys, we are almost ready to submit our application for the 820 visa and have filled all 27 pages of the online form.

At what point do we submit all of our evidence?

Cheers

After you depart with payment.

But there has been a few funny things happen if you start straight away in recent time. So maybe wait till payment has cleared + 24 hours unless you get a screen that gives options you expect.?

Does anyone know whether there is any harm in uploading documents and evidence roughly a month after you depart with payment at the end of the portal?

We're in a bit of a rush as my partners WHV is set to expire soon so want to get a BVA ASAP and then start compiling everything and uploading it all.

Probably no issue.

However be warned they can make a decision at any time they wish based on the info provided to them at that time. It would be very cruel of them but stranger things have happened.

Start compiling?

It normally takes to get a good application together 2-3 months.

Hope you know what you are doing, seems a big risk.

Thanks!

We've started compiling everything for quite some time, stat decs, statements, pieces of evidence, etc. But are just unsure of how to group things.

I've heard of people taking screenshots and putting them in a powerpoint for each of the respective (financial, nature of household, social aspects, nature of commitment) aspects, annotating them and saving them as a PDF file then uploading.

Does that seem like a good approach?

Put a "valid" application in as soon as you can after submission, then after that supporting documents.

I would work on the "legal" and used term by Immigration (often) of 28 days.

There is nothing solid on this - but it has a defence point.

 

[Eh?]

Using the search function on the forums, you will find a lot of information on how to group your evidence, the file size and format and the evidence groups with which you should organize them under.

It's a bit risky (in my humble opinion) to complete an application and pay for it without uploading evidence at that time.

 

[bob88]

Awesome, thanks. That's super helpful!

I strongly advise against lodging an application without being able to add all essential supporting evidence straight away.

The evidence must relate to the period before the application is lodged. If you haven’t got it now, how are you going to generate it later?
